Music to my ears
Friday nights are "Youth Night" at town church. Sometimes we go play volleyball--which is just HILLARIOUS to watch! Sometimes we play games. Once we showed the movie "Invisible Children" about the children who are being kidnapped and forced into "armies" up in northern Uganda. We joined with some other local churches and then followed this up with a fundraiser movie ("The Gods Must Be Crazy") where we raised money to send up north for the children.
Last night, we just sang! And it was just amazing to hear young people singing praises to GOD in a language that is not their first language! It sounds a little funny, and sometimes they sing the songs wrong, but it is just beautiful. I especially LOVE how they add "hand motions" to several songs which I didn't know even had hand motions (like Blessed be the Name of the Lord)! I am so thankful that I get to experience this little piece of heaven here in Mbarara!

Hi Beth
Joy and Charles Here from Greensboro, NC USA. Your sister, Sarah is in our care-group. Just logged onto your site for the first time. Great site. My Husband charles is from South Africa and he laughed at the blog about the kids singing and hand motions because he has experienced the same thing when working at his home church in JHB, SA. We are so thrilled to know you have sacrificed your time and talents to reach out to the Children of Uganda. Charles's Brother is a missionary to the Zulu Tribe of South Africa. His website is:

Thank god for people like yourself and charles's brother who have a passion to reach the continent of africa to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.
May God richly bless you in all that you do and say.
